Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

[Ridgetop]

Hopefully doctor will write up test script so we can go in on Thursday for the test. I have an appointment with my oncologist for annual follow up that day. Since doctor is so far away (1-2 hours when traffic is bad - 1/2 hour in middle of night with foot to the floor LOL) I would rather do several doctor or medical type things on one day.

I will let everyone know as soon as results come in. I am hoping it will show we had it since it will help DH relax. He is getting paranoid about having turned 77 and hearing that the virus is just waiting to snatch him up!

I have to post a correction about the meat situation in California. According to DH, who gave me the first info from his non-stop virus supervision, we are not limited to 2 lbs. of meat per grocery visit. Dh now says we are limited to 2 packages of meat, chicken, and fish every visit. He thinks. Most of this is due to processing plants in the Midwest being closed. However, beef is also going up in price because less is being sent in to the packing plants. DH wondered why this was so and I quoted Farmerjan's info about the low prices beef has been bringing. DH was impressed with my grasp of farm prices. Thanks Farmerjan!

I wonder if my side of beef counts as 1 package? LOL

Our grocery store was selling chicken meat in 5-10 pound water balloon-like packages for 50 cents a pound back when the restaurants had just shut down (good quality chicken too, just bad, leaky plastic bags). Two packages might tide you over for a good long time if they are/were still dumping. Probably not for long.

Inslee just extended WA States quarantine out to May 31st and announced a 4 phase reopening plan, without a real timeline. There is definitely a leftist agenda and Covid has given them the excuse they've been looking for to push it and strip us of our constitutional rights. If this keeps going we will no longer be the land of the free! I just have to keep reminding myself that God is still & always will be in control, His plans are greater than mine are. The only thing we can do is exercise our right to vote & vote them out. Sadly our country is leaning farther & farther left as our children are being taught in their propaganda centers disguised as the public education system!

So right! Especially the schools indoctrinating our children. My DD1 is a public school teacher and in the 2016 election she was castigated for not declaring for Hillary loudly and telling her students to vote for her! They got mad at her when they went around passing out Hillary info and she said if they did that they should also pass out Trump info too to be fair. She was ostracized for a year because she wouldn't tell them who she was voting for, and refused to march for Hillary!

The major news stations and newspapers are also tools of the Libs. They hate the idea that Coved might end or be shown to be less dangerous than first touted because it is such good news to predict worldwide destruction. The liberal government was quick to jump on closing churches first, but leaving liquor stores open. I want ALL businesses to open back up.

Politics have gotten very vicious. Whoever is elected can be removed in 4 years. In the meantime, the elected officials are supposed to be working for us but apparently they didn't read that in the job descriptions.

Terrible what they did to your daughter, but not surprising.
When my oldest son was in the 7th grade, 21 years ago, his teacher told me that he was not very politically correct sometimes...I told her good, that's called free speech...they've been at this for a long time. I home schooled him the next year & then God provided the means to send him to a Christian school with our values. I pulled our daughter out after 6th grade & our youngest after the 4th grade. God gave us just enough overtime to pay for their high school education. All we can do is pray & vote!

We placed a flyer on the board at the farm store that we use listing lambs for sale. We have gotten a half dozen calls from people asking about getting a lamb or two. After the first call, I learned to ask a couple of questions before answering any more questions. The first thing I ask is what kind of fence they have. Three callers in a row had small lots with chain link fence and the next two said the last owner had run cattle and there was two strands of barbed wire.

After those calls I call Bill (the owner at the store) and asked him to take down the ad. We are keeping 6 ram lambs to either go in the freezer or sell to someone as meat.

We haven’t ventured to the stores since the reopening has started. We drove past Loews and it was a madhouse. I want more weed cloth for the garden, so will have to go next week.

Teachers teaching their own political values and not the 3 R's is one reason why schools are falling behind Another is the total lack of participation or interest by so many parents. This is why so many kids know their "rights" but not history or geography.
Our grandchildren came home from school talking about "fair" and how the liberals were trying to make everything "fair". We discussed what liberal "fair' meant. They are A students. They already know that some kids don't want to do homework or study (their mother is a middle school teacher remember). We explained how some kids do F work, some do C work and others do A work. In socialism (liberalism) that all grades would be averaged so everyone got a C. They were furious that their hard work would not be allocated to themselves but rather shared out to those with poor grades. "not fair". They abandoned socialism and returned to the fold. LOL

MikeCHS: I PREFER TO SELL ONLY MEAT AND DELIVER IT TO THE BUTCHER MYSELF. Over the years I have found that selling livestock for pets to people doesn't work. They figure they just have to put it in a small space with some weeds and a little grass and don't have to feed. That may work in some areas, but not here in southern CA. Many of them have dogs that will kill the sheep. Their fences are bad and they don't want to put up new ones. They don't see the need for a shelter, or they want to keep it in a garage. With the car. They won't trim feet, or make sure it is kept healthy. They might "love" it but it will live in misery until they tire of it.

One such sale stands out - a woman wanted to buy a ewe lamb for her half acre property full of weeds and grass. I checked it for fencing, and it was ok so I sold her the ewe. 6 months later she called me and wanted me to take the sheep back! Not only did she want me to buy it back for more than she paid, but wanted me to pay for the halter, feeder, and bales of hay she had fed it in the 6 months! I told her that I had a closed flock and did not "take back" animals after they had left the premises. I could place it somewhere but not at the amount she was demanding She was very annoyed. I advised her to put an ad up at the feed store. Give me meat sales every time. No complaints, no problems, satisfied and returning customers. Unless you are selling to someone who has done their homework on keeping an animal and/or is willing to follow instructions and advice, it is not worth the trouble!

Was Lowe's closed in Texas? All of the home improvement stores remained open in WA...which is extremely surprising!

Yes, our school system is broken and you're correct, so many parents don't realize and just don't care! What a great way to explain it to them!
We went to see our new grandson, he's also our first. He's only a month old, still so tiny and honestly I'm terrified of what his future and the future of your grandchildren and every other child in this world will be. By the time the people that are blindly trusting in the government finally realize what they've lost, it will already be to late!
